This is one of the permanent con- tributions made by Vedic Kavis to philosophy. Their expression Rita, which frequently occurs in Vedic hymns and was replaced later by Dharma, is significant in more than one way. For it implies not only that the visible universe is governed throughout by the principle of law in the widest sense of the term, but also that there is a rhythmic, orderly march of things in general. The morning showed the day. At the very dawn of human intelligence the far-sighted Ve...dic Poets went into camps^ some maintaining the Postulate of Being, ^ and others, that of non-Being.^ Both schools have left their foot-prints on later Indian speculations. Speaking generally, the history of subsequent Indian philosophy has nothing more to exhibit than a gradual unfolding and expan- sion, a wider application, and a continually changing connota- tion of the ancient antithesis between the two postulates.^ * Sat-kai-ya-vada implied in Rig-veda.
